Most people who import to sell can't tell you their real margin.
A $10 product from China doesn't cost $10. After 2026 tariffs, entry fees, and Amazon/Shopify fees, it lands at ~$24.50.
If you price off the sticker cost, some of your bestsellers are quietly losing money.

I built LC Pilot to fix that. It's not just a tariff calculator — it's a margin + sourcing tool:
• true landed cost + FBA/WFS fees = real profit per SKU
• audit your whole catalog at once
• compare sourcing countries (China vs Vietnam vs Mexico)

The part I'm proudest of: connect Shopify and it imports products with the TRUE landed cost written into your cost field — then watches your margins and pings you when a rate change pushes a SKU underwater.
No more finding out three months later.

Why now: the 10% global surcharge (Section 122) hits its legal expiration July 24, and nobody knows what replaces it.
If you're placing Q3 orders, you want your margin both ways — with the surcharge and without. LC Pilot shows you both.

(Updated for 2026 tariffs. Built for sellers, not customs brokers.)
The 2026 tariff stack is brutal:
MFN duty
+ Section 301 (China)
+ Section 122 (10% global)
+ MPF + HMF
+ marketplace fees
A $10 product from China now lands in the US for ~$24.50.
If you import to sell, your spreadsheet is wrong.
